A lot to like when turning on Chol's tape, besides his obvious size on the field. Proctor Academy has fun deploying Chol almost anywhere they please. I personally love Chol at EDGE/OLB, it's a position I think he will eventually thrive in at UConn. At the high school level, Chol can easily dominate as a pass rusher, proving to be too long and physical for most tackles in New Hampshire to handle. A ton of Chol's junior tape highlights show how effective a receiver he can be as well. I wouldn't expect that to change this Fall, look for Chol to be the focal point of this Hornet team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd1da533d1e","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["367896"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I couldn't find tape for this behemoth linemen outside of a two-minute midseason tape from last Fall. I can't help but figure that most of his reps all season were much like the ones I saw on this short clip, nothing short of dominant. The young man is 6'8, close to 6'9, 280 pounds, closer to 300 pounds if you ask me. There aren't too many prospects that can line up across this kid, on either side of the ball, and withstand the strength that is coming their way. We will see how well he can move at the next level, for now, his overwhelming power is enough to make him a staple right tackle in New Hampshire. Johnson is equally punishing at defensive tackle as well.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd1db133d1f","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["388272"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='388272' first='Liric' last='Harris'], the Evergreen Defensive Player of the Year, acts as the third mean, powerful trench prospect deployed by Proctor Academy. Chol and Johnson overwhelm with size, whereas [player_tooltip player_id='388272' first='Liric' last='Harris'], who isn't small in any sense of the word, can flash some foot speed and hand quickness to win reps. Now you've got three menacing linemen, one of which can catch touchdown passes over DB's heads, another that can steamroll DEs and LBs, and another that can provide a bit of finesse and technique inside.

Now let's incorporate [player_tooltip player_id='368078' first='Jackson' last='Downey'] into the secondary and front seven. I'm genuinely surprised to see Downey wait as long as he did for his first FCS offer to arrive. New Hampshire pulled the trigger on the 6'2, 200-pound safety/linebacker hybrid. Downey came away with 4 interceptions in eight games last Fall. Where Downey makes an impression is in his ability to both diagnose the run and read passing concepts and attack downhill to make stops. I expect FCS schools to recruit him to play linebacker at the next level. FCS teams could use his safety reps as experience to play the pass at OLB if need be. Happy to see his recruitment begin to blossom.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd78806ab10","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["368236"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='368236' first='Jack' last='Poirier'], formerly out of Wellesley HS in Massachusetts, is the first and highest ranking weapon to be mentioned in this piece. Hard to believe the kid is 6'2/6'3 at times. Poirier often got the ball at the LOS at WHS. He displayed real acceleration in the open field, not taking too long to hit his second gear. Again, the kid is almost 6'3 and beating angles from DBs in the secondary. Impressive. Poirier also shows he can be trusted in 50/50 situations to at least make a play on the football. He positions himself well, making sure he isn't pushed off his route more times than not. A solid weapon to build the offense around.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63041faa80fa3","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["368237"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='368237' first='Mark' last='Rodeo'] stands to be the man behind center this Fall.

There are plenty of in-rhythm throws, the young man sees the middle of the field well. Where Rodeo stands out is in impromptu situations.

Spillane might be a tad bit underrated despite his initial rank into the top half of the junior rankings on our site.

Poirier might provide explosive plays and act as the playmaker of the offense, whereas Chambers can be trusted and counted on to eat underneath coverage. Chambers is an intelligent football player, you can tell by how he sets up in a zone after the play breaks down. His understanding of coverage alignments helps him get open. The reps at defensive back clearly go hand in hand, as Chambers learns the do's and don'ts of both positions and applies them accordingly.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/camchambers17/status/1505328444795674625?s=20u0026t=v798Dkuru0qLol93I7fBVw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/camchambers17/status/1505328444795674625?s=20&amp;t=v798Dkuru0qLol93I7fBVw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd784433d21","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
